At Funny Farm Doodles, we take pride in matching our puppies with their perfect homes through careful temperament evaluations. Ivy is a gentle, loving puppy with a calm nature, making her an excellent fit for families, retirees, or individuals looking for a devoted companion.

Ivy’s Personality and Traits

Ivy has a medium level of assertiveness and confidence, allowing her to be both independent and responsive to her humans. She has a low motivation level, which means she prefers a relaxed environment and doesn’t require constant stimulation. Her medium prey drive and high human focus make her attentive to people while maintaining a balanced approach to new experiences.

She has a neutral dog-friendliness, meaning she gets along well with other dogs but isn’t overly dependent on canine companionship. Her moderate tenderness ensures she is affectionate without being overly sensitive to emotional shifts.

Ideal Homes for Ivy

Ivy’s temperament makes her suitable for a variety of homes and placements, particularly those looking for a low-maintenance, affectionate, and calm dog.

• Best Companion for Retirees: With a 76% compatibility rating for less active retirees and 71% for active retirees, Ivy is a great choice for those who want a loyal and loving dog without high energy demands.

• Perfect for a Calm Home: Ivy is highly suited for homes where owners work outside the house, scoring 79% compatibility for pet homes without kids. She enjoys companionship but is also content with some alone time.

• Family Dog: Ivy is compatible with children, with a 68% rating for homes with kids over 10 years old and a 61% rating for homes with younger children. While she enjoys affection, her calmer nature means she may do better in a home with older, more predictable kids.

• Therapy & ESA Potential: While Ivy has a 69% compatibility rating for experienced therapy handlers, her lower scores for novice therapy handlers and facility work suggest she would excel best in one-on-one support roles rather than high-energy environments.

Is Ivy the Right Puppy for You?

If you are looking for a calm, affectionate, and loyal companion, Ivy might be your perfect match! She thrives in relaxed environments where she can bond closely with her owner and provide unconditional love. Whether you’re a retiree, a working professional, or a family with older children, Ivy’s gentle nature makes her an excellent addition to the right home.
